Entering Text
Use the input panel to enter information in any program. You can either type on the soft keyboard
or write on the touch screen using Letter Recognizer or Block Recognizer. In either case, the
characters appear as typed text on the screen.
To show or hide the input panel, tap the Input Panel button (the icon looks like a keyboard and is
shown in the System tray). Tap the arrow next to the Input Panel button to see the soft input panel
Choices menu.
When you use the input panel, the word completion program anticipates the word you are typing
or writing and displays it above the input panel.
When you tap the displayed word, it is inserted into your text at the insertion point.
To change word suggestion options, such as the number of words suggested at one time, tap Start
| Settings | Personal | Input | Word Completion tab.
Repeating Keystrokes
The Soft Input Panel does not support repeating keystrokes. The MX6 PPC keypads allow
repeating keystrokes.
International Characters
Use the Soft Input Panel and the stylus to add International Characters to data entries. Open the
Soft Input Panel by tapping the Input Panel icon in the system tray.
Tap the áü key on the Soft Input Panel to enable international characters.
